Victorian Thistle and Rose Motif Silver Bangle Bracelet

Exquisitely hand crafted in silver and 14K green gold (the roses are colored by a mysterious metal mix), this bold and beautiful Victorian bangle is decorated with an intricately hand-engraved thistle and rose motif. The red and white Tudor rose was adopted as England's national flower since the time of the War of Roses (1455-1485) between the royal houses of Lancaster (red rose) and York (white rose). It represents unity and peace between the once warring Houses. Representing bravery, strength, durability, and determination, the thistle is the national symbol of Scotland. A lovely bit of the United Kingdom's history to grace your wrist. Measures 6 3/4 inches.
